Use RockWorks to create continuous 3D "solid models" or "block models" of your downhole geochemical, geophysical, or geotechnical measurments; observed lithology materials; color categories; fractures; and vectors/voids.

3D Ore Block Models

Choose from a variety of 3D modeling algorithms and controls.
Create block models of assay concentrations and display them in 3D as isosurfaces or voxel models.
Run a floating-cones pit optimization.

3D Geophysical Solid Models

Create solid models of downhole point measurements - gamma, resistivity, etc. - and view them in 3D as isosurface or 3D voxel displays

Solid model based on downhole geophysical data

3D Contaminant Models

Create static models of contaminant plumes and display them in 3D as isosurfaces or as color-coded voxels.
Create transitional time-based models, display these "morphed" sequences, and create movie animations.

3D Lithology Block Models

Create solid models representing the distribution of your lithology material types.
Display all or selected materials as color-coded 3D voxels.
View volumes of each lithology type.

3D Color Solids

Display interpolated color data as 3D voxel models or 3D points.
Filter for specific color ranges, and view volumes

3D Fracture Models

Create solid models of fracture distances, for display as isosurfaces.
Filter the 3D display for specific distance tolerances.

3D Vector-Based Models

Use RockWorks to convert downhole directional data into solid models that approximate the extents of the vectors.
An example application is the generation of void geometries (cave models) based on downhole laser surveys.

Interactively filter for specific value ranges and view corresponding volumes.
Insert horizontal and vertical slices, and reposition them to view hot spots.
Illustrate multiple concentration levels with "x-isosurfaces"
Insert cutouts to view the model interior.
Include automatic or customized legends
Apply dozens of solid model manipulation tools and filters
Include logs, aerial photos, 3D surfaces, and many other 3D entities in your scenes.
